Nearly 63% of our emergency calls are for medical services – that’s almost 26 calls per day” . I could not find any reference to response times.

So, they are there first to await a private company to transport the patient?


TVPSD RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY with a rescue crew involving paramedics/professional first responders. Their avg response time is about 6 minutes. A private ambulance company responds to transport the patient after TVPSD has stabilized.
